Despite winds, barking dogs, sirens and music from festivities at the park, I saw/heard a total of 27 species during my late morning visit to LCC, today. Of most interest were: 1 juvenile Broad-winged Hawk being harassed by Western Kingbirds; 3 Northern Cardinals all in different parts of the woods, and 11 Brown-headed Cowbirds patiently waiting for some unsuspecting nesting female to leave just long enough....
I also saw 4 Yellow Warblers, 2 Wood Ducks, 1 Blue Grosbeak, a Western Wood-Pewee, and all three doves, Eurasian, Mourning and White-winged. (The White-winged is something I don't see at LCC very often.) Was hoping to see/hear a late warbler, a Yellow-billed Cuckoo or find a vireo, but no such luck.
At my home in the Willow Valley subdivision, I have both male and female Black-chinned Hummingbirds and a singing Yellow Warbler. Thank you.
